A singular contrast Is afforded b. the
actlsn Of the German Rtiebssag and
GhaG Of the French Chamber OF Deputies
IN dealing With the demands OF their
respective governments for extraordi-
nary credits foE militia , purposes. Bah
of thess demands were for what may BE-
regarded a. var credits. and, though
they we're somewhat different. both
we're supported by appeals to the
patFIetism Of The legislative bodies.
The debate which followed the de-
mand Of the German goysTRmsnt IA
matter Of history. The Rstohstag re-
eslvsd Il sullsniy. and q wrangline de-
bate snsned which lasted for several
weeks. In this debate beth the sap
porisFs and the opponents Of the Rov-
eminent allowed party feeling to over
eome then. The debate dsgeneraied
inso . wranele, and vas finally ended
by the defeat Of the eovsrnmeat and
the dissolution OF the Reiehsta9. An
appeal 70 the people Il now being made,
aad noa until after the elecsions will 10
be kEewa whether or noe the German
people will allow Bismarck and Ven
Molike 10 have their way.
Ia ths French Chamber % Deguties.
however. the demands Of the EoveEn-
msnt wAa very differently received.
There was Ne debate on them. and no
q1essisas wsre asked. Az soon ~ The
wants Of The government we're known
the Chamber voted ths credit desired.
without . aivisien and amid the asnoss
enthusiasm. No opposition vas devel-
oped, and nsmbsFs Of all parties seem
ID 10 regard the voting Of the credit a.
q patriotic duty rather than q party
measure.
What this aiaersnee Indicates Il
weaid be dshsalt 10 sAy. Certainly
msmbsEs Of the German ReichssaR are
nol less patriotic than members Of TIE
French Chamber 81 Deputies. Bas.
thea, the French are more isnpalsive
and the Germans mere careful In TIE
ssaps which they take, shioh probably
explains The difference.

AmERlcA,s MYRIAD DEFENDERS


The Secretary of War has sent TO ths
Senate the annual abstract Of the militia
forces Of the United States, organized
and unoreanized. This document ought
10 be OF mere than usual interest NOS
that every body is taking war. Ii rep
resents. in addition 20 the two thousand
and some ed officers, 1900 enlisted
men Of the rtRalar army, the total
strength OF our land forces. The re.
pors is based upon rssuFns submitted hy
the Adintant Generals of the Ssates and
Territories 10 the Adjatant General Of
tie Army. In many cases NJ returns Of
the unoFganized strength are made, and
the figures, based upon tbs population
OF the State not heard frSn. are ssti-
mated 10 the office OF she Adiatans
General Of TIE army. The abstract will
q ow total organized militia force Of
81, 493, bsing an increase over the nam.
Der reported last year Of 1887. The
fetal number o. men available for mill
taEy duty. bat not organized, is reported
- 7, $50 592, az increase Of CD, 597 over
the returns given last year. The or
gained force consists of 1885 commits
stoned officers and S2,26l enlisted men,
sn increase OF 70l and 10S6 respectively.
The organized force foK the State Of
Illinois Is given this year 1881, an in.
crease Of l42 men. There is an increase
OF M,000 IN the number available fog
military daty bul not organized for that
state, the total number being given as
10000. The figures in detail for
iilinois are as follows. General oficers,
2; general stsh cfiisers. AZ. reeimentsl,
teId and stan officers, Is; company OH
GERS. l99; on-eommissioned Off seEs aud
pEtvates, 1862. Tue increase In officers
is and IN enlisted men S31.
The figures above do nos represent the
actual groakn during the year, as the
increase Ia partly due to che fact that
returns were received from states this
year not heretofore heard from, whose
numbers were previously urdeFeasf-
mated By the Adjufant Generals Office
Still there is . substantial growth, and
since Congress has 6ually enlarged the
appropriations for the support of the
militia. Q much better showing may be
looked for another year.

of Chillicothe, and he purchased north Of the
town large tract Of land, which is to-day very
valuable, and is held by the son-inlaw OF Gov
ernor Allen.
In 1905 Captain Macarthur was elected to the
Legislature and his record in that body was
cerditable one. He took high rank In the mill
tary organization of the State, and in 1873
accompanied General Hull to Detroit, becoming
second In command in the expedition. Shortly
before the close Of the war Macarthur was
elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket
by large majority. He resigned his seat,
however, to take the commission of Brigadier
General under Harrison, and he succeeded him
in the command Of the Northwestern army.
He proved to be an able military leader, and
defeated the British with great loss to them ut
the battle Of Malcom's Mills. When the war
ended General Macarthur retired to his Chilli
